2010 W212 - Add USB to centre console?

Hi folks, first time poster here. I've recently upgraded from my brilliant 2003 w211 E220 estate to an even better... 2010 W212 E250 Estate Avantgarde.

Within my centre console, there is no module for USB and 3.5" Aux input.

I have an MMI port in the glovebox.

VIN tells me I have the following:

CONNECT 20 HIGH (NTG7)
UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (UCI)

I would love to get a USB & Aux in the centre console - I believe the part number is A2128210911

So my question is.... Am i dreaming? Are the connections already under my centre console, and just not hooked up due to spec? Or is there nothing under there and my system just doesn't have it in the first place.

I'd prefer not to strip out my whole centre console out to find out if someone can offer any advice beforehand!


I have read this thread https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/...b-port.162509/

But I have "NTG7" apparently.... which i can find no reference of!

Thank you in advance, please let me know if you need any extra details to be able to help out.

Wiring is not already there in center console so you would have rewire if you want a different location. Have you thought about just using the glovebox since the wiring is already there? With the correct cable you could get aux or usb.

And that NTG 7 probably is a typo or misread. It should be NTG 4.

I have a USB & 3.5 mm connections in my glove box cable.
